Why FastCrew

FastCrew is built in New Zealand for NZ trade businesses — job management, quoting, scheduling, and CCA-compliant invoicing in one flat-priced app, instead of the 8+ tools most trade businesses stitch together today (Smartsheet, Xero, spreadsheets, and the rest).

The short version

Most job-management software charges per seat. Add a new person to your crew and your bill goes up — every month, forever. FastCrew doesn't. Crew ($199/mo) covers unlimited users. Add ten people, add fifty — the price doesn't move.

That's not a gimmick. It's the single biggest number we found when we checked our pricing against Tradify, Fergus, and NextMinute directly: at 10–14 staff, FastCrew's Crew plan beats NextMinute's own equivalent flat tier by 43% — $199/mo against $349/mo, same headcount, same "everything unlocked" model. Tradify's per-seat pricing crosses $199/mo at just four people, and keeps climbing after that.

What that actually means for your business

If you're a sole trader or a 2–3 person outfit, Solo ($39/mo) already undercuts a single seat of Tradify Lite ($47/mo) or Fergus Basic (~$53/mo) — and it includes basic compliance tracking where both of those gate it behind a higher tier.

If you're growing — 5, 10, 20 staff — that's exactly where flat pricing compounds in your favour. You stop doing the math every time you're about to hire.

Built for how NZ trades actually work

FastCrew's quoting and invoicing are CCA-native from the start — retentions, progress claims, and variations aren't bolted on, they're how the app already works. Xero and Stripe sync out of the box. Everything's built and supported from New Zealand.

We'll be writing more here about what we're building and why — including the honest comparisons, not just the highlight reel. Next up: a closer look at live crew tracking and how we're closing the gap on the features that actually matter.
